Shame that header earlier wasn't put in the same place. 

Scotland could easily get one back in this and then it's game on.  Better them having scored in the first few minutes than in the 89th minute.

Worst possible start for the Scots.   Apart from a 5 minute flurry, they are not really threatening to score.
Not sure why the Italian goal was ruled out.  Never offside.  Great save by Gordon though.

Its not over yet, but the Scots really need to score in the first 20 mins of the 2nd half, otherwise the Italians will just slow the game down.

Let's throw caution to the wind,get miller and boyd on.Play them up front with mcfadden in behind.I would rather lose 3 or 4 nil,than go down without a fight.

Might have been for handball?  Certainly should have been a penalty for handball earlier.

Scotland playing great and had a bit of luck with the offside decision, has the hallmarks of a frustrating draw at the mo.

a draw means we need france to lose to the ukraine so i am not hopefull on that

so 2 goals are needed

kris boyd is the guy that can convert if we get the ball in the box

mcfadden isnt getting the ball so needs support

Terrible selection by the manager - McFadden's struggling to get a game with Everton as Moyes wants to play a target man & McFaddens not built for it - so Scotland play him as a target man 

Miller should have been out there to tire out the Italian defence & 2nd half McFadden could hopefully capitalise on it.

Kris Boyd's great scoring against lesser teams - he's not mobile enough for a game against Italy.

Boyd wouldn't get on unless we're in the last 10 as far as I'm concerned. He's a scorer, but doesn't work hard enough. We're up against a great team and need 11 grafters out there.

Hartleys' quiet - but so's Pirlo - leave it like that as Pirlo'll slaughter us if he's left alone.

Miller on as a front man is done now I'm afraid.... have to go with what we've on hope to get a goal & give Boyd the last 5-10 to hope to steal it IMHO
